I think when people act like this they get a little irrational even if they have credentials and education. For example, the concern is limiting plastic intake. the solution is to limit it at home apparently, because this is within our realm of control. It's a fallacy though.

However, if this was approached scientifically, we might ask ourselves to identify where these plastics are most likely to come from when we get in contact from them. Are these few levers in our control really having any effect compared to the levers we have no control over that probably also contribute significant plastic in our lives? That is the first question to be asked before any action IMO. It is humbling I am sure to know of a problem but also subconsciously at least know there isn't anything you can do about it. Like most other pollution I guess; you have to breathe that air at the end of the day. And your only salve is the scientific community gathering evidence of these effects so that regulation might be written to target them specifically. Individually, we are powerless.
Yeah I think that is the big difference. In the US it doesn't matter what the actual rules are, the lawsuits will come regardless and drive up costs massively, and many places allow local councils to reject buildings without reasoning.
I haven't experienced it myself (haven't applied for a job in a long time), but there are lots of reports here on HN of people getting online applications rejected withing minutes, or late at night - definitely some companies are using software to filter resumes. This has been going on for a long time - it's not just a recent "AI" thing - resumes used to get rejected for not having the right keywords on them.
I had a model M that was built in 1993 that I used until 2016. The main thing you need to do is clean it once in a while. I have a newer Model M today that I got last year and I doubt it will last as long.
Every nation uses novel words every time, to avoid parallels. In fact ambassadors have to research every historical speech when a president wants to coin a new term. It’s not rare we hear “He said […], a term not used since [last scuffle between countries]”, journalists do notice.

US has Guantanamo and they don’t call them prisoners of wars (PoW). Russia has special military operations. Australia doesn’t keep their illegal immigrants in detention centers but in “administrative residences”.

So declarations of war are very much not outdated, insofar as everyone _avoids_ those terms.
I believe so yes, they make their payout % clear and are continuing to do days where they waive their cut entirely.
Exactly. I've referred many ex-colleagues to a specific position, their CV was perfect but an automated system rejected them so that was that. I can't even as a human being go talk to the director because the applicant status was "rejected" so their hands were tied too.

It's absurd, and only getting worse.
Yeah. Like in 1961. Good the U.S. invaded Cuba to show them Communists force.

I’m being sarcastic. This didn’t happen, though many people advised Kennedy to do exactly that. Had the U.S. done it, we very likely wouldn’t be here today.
You can't become a billionaire by betting on hundreds of thousands of events via "survivorship bias". It's about as likely as getting 1000 monkeys typing on typewriters and producing Shakespeare's works in 10 years.

Killing half a million Ukrainians so that a country whose population is a third Russian doesn't vote for the Russian-friendly candidate over some Western-backed candidate who wants to exterminate and expel Russians,

Nowhere near a half a million have been killed.

The country identified as 17 percent Russian in the last census.

No one one from the Ukrainian side was going to, or is ever going to expel or exterminate anyone.

No one from Ukraine I talk to (including people very close to events at the time) gives any credence to the "coup" theory.

You obviously have no understanding of the Language Law, or what it actually does. And anyway it was passed in 2019 and so had nothing to do with events of 2014.

People in the West talk about the Ukraine situation all the time, from every angle, include quite obviously very pro-Russian angles. Not just online, but right there on major channels like Fox and CNN. There are no "allowed" or "disallowed" viewpoints, or any other repercussions or constraints.

Everything you're saying above is sheer lunacy, basically.

Roughly 15 years ago when I entered the job market, I spammed my resume to 36 roles within a single company so 50 doesn’t sound too bad.

I had a chance to travel by rail from Amsterdam to Belgium and I chose a first class ticket, hoping to experience some real luxury (I've never travelled first class anywhere before)

It was very disappointing. We had to wait on an exposed end of the platform away from regular commuters. When I boarded it was no more luxurious than a regular train. I got a meal which consisted of a sandwich which was, I swear, a 1" x 4" sliver of bread with broccoli pesto on it, and another piece on top. not even a full sandwich. I also got a lukewarm cup of coffee and a yoghurt.
What exactly you can do as a HM to make the life of a job seeker easy? I dare say nothing except to just make the quality of response better. Even after six rounds of interviews candidates who are not selected get not a single honest useful feedback and is treated like human scrap with a soulless rejection. Beleive me as a job applicant I have zero sympathy for the corporates that hire me and I will use every thing at my disposal including AI to be more efficient in any way I deem fit.

For what it's worth, I somewhat agree. High speed rail in particular is super expensive, and airplanes are surprisingly cheap and flexible in comparison.
Well my 10 year old car had 3G, which is now defunct.

I'd hope in 10 years 4G and maybe be 5G would also be defunct with their networks turned off.
I do think it heavily depends on what kind of salary you are looking for. Not sure how it is jn NZ but perhaps they pay less than in the US, and hence it's less competitive to remote outsiders?
No, because the fake passeport detection is done by checking the database anyway.

Honestly I don't see any other way. Else it becomes a paradise for forgery.

The choice is between "use an online service" or "don't use an online service". That's simple enough for anyone to understand.

Apple can try to explain as best it can how user data is protected when they use the online service, and then the user makes a choice to either use the service or not.

In my case, I have don't even have a practical use for the new feature, so it's irrelevant how private the online service is. As it is, though, Apple silently forced me to use an online service that I never wanted.

Most of that could also be considered getting the best out of the tools at hand. Is it necessarily a good idea to always optimize for the highest common denominator? Even for a contributor that at the time of the decision is merely a hypothetical? That same attitude could be brought into a project by someone who refuses to use a build system and insists on everything being laid out for easy compilation by manually launching javac, or on writing makefiles instead of a pom.

I mean sure, there are projects out there where a healthy dose of tool-agnosticism should not be too much to ask for, but a generalized "they are doing it wrong" about people playing to the strengths of their toolkit is really not warranted. The opposite of structuring around what works well with their tooling is structuring around what works well with your tooling. You ask for exactly the thing you are refusing them. Yeah, IDE-only builds are a bad idea, but that's really a concept that has died a long time ago (even if there are probably a few cases around where it still has not stopped moving yet)
At my FAANG company, our leadership is super unbalanced in favor of white/asian men.

We have some empty words about diversity but no goals or metrics, so nothing effective will actually change.

As a (white, male) manager, I have huge power over who gets to interview. My network is, sadly, largely white/asian and male. So if I don’t even think about it, I will perpetuate the imbalance.

I haven’t seen bonuses tied to diversity. I have seen a promo doc where a manager was praised for increasing diversity, with a greater percentage of women now in his department. I then discovered he had hired 1 woman and 26 men, raising his percentage of women from 0. I’m not kidding.
Agreed. I’ve tried Ecosia and this was the first thing that hit me. Pity.

That’s definitely a problem right now, but it’s still not worth hiring people just to train them and have them leave.

I'll add my sob story to the pile for the sake of a data point. Warning this story contains racial identity.

White male, 10 yoe, worked at FAANG and many more. I was laid off and remained unemployed for over a year. I only have my new job thanks to nepotism - or referral, if you prefer to be politically correct.

2021 - I land a new job as a senior dev at a startup with a huge salary (200k) thanks to the hiring surge. Things are good, we're all getting along, but my Indian male tech lead confides in me that he's upset that I'm paid as much as he is - he's been with the company longer, and he implies that he works harder. I encourage him to pursue a raise with management, but we maintain a good relationship, I would say friends even.

Fast forward 2 years - My skills are generally recognized by everyone, from peers, to the engineering director, even the VP - everyone has seen what I can do, and they trust and respect me to do good work. Then one day, things aren't so good - I have some home life drama and I drop the ball at work. Meanwhile, my tech lead is stressed out for his own reasons, but its a perfect storm and things boil over. He writes a lengthy (angry) email complaining to management about me, tearing me to shreds. I'm stunned and try to defend myself, some people go to bat for me, but its Dec 2022 and that email puts me on the short list when the layoff wave strikes - I'm out of work.

Its months of grinding and interviewing - I finally get an offer but my mental health is in a bad place so I turn it down. I'm still feeling raw and betrayed and I'm just wondering what the fuck is the point of it all. I take some more time, then start interviewing again, but things go from bad to worse in the job market. I succeed in a couple of on-sites but still lose out to other candidates. By a stroke of luck, I connect with an old acquaintance who was willing to advocate for me and get my resume to the top of the pile. I do the whole song and dance and land the job - that brings me to today.

The whole experience has left me with a bitter and jaded opinion of this industry, and work in general. I now consider this industry a joke. I don't enjoy programming anymore, I don't think there are any tech products that make the world a better place - any that were decent continue to enshitify - and to be honest I'm wary of non-americans going out of there way to undermine me - likely fueled by their own fears and anxiety of winding up in the same position, but with more to lose. Nonetheless, I wasn't aware that they harbored such resentment against americans, and I won't be forgetting it anytime soon.

And congrats to CEOs who once again have us fighting amongst ourselves - you've made the world a worse place and got rich doing it. Great job.
Depends where you live. In the US people move for jobs a lot, we studied that aspect of US life in French schools. In France it's common to move to Paris to work once you finish school.
I love the system he built, but the kicker would be to enable auto-filling and submitting on the various career portals. I question the efficacy of submitting job applications via email in 2024 (but perhaps I'm in the wrong industry.)
We’d also be more open about the rest of the plans, but it’s a hard information design problem more than anything else - the website desperately needs an update. Too much to do and too little time. If I just didn’t spend so much time around here ;)

The compiler being open source is not the big thing - it’s mostly upstream rustc with very little modification. However, all of the safety manuals are open too, so you can see what you’ll get.

same. finally got realforce R2 and I'm good. There might be something better for me, but I've spent enough time and money searching for the perfect combination of form-factor, switches, keycaps, materials, etc.
Ask HN: How to Get an Advantage with ATS?
Hi there!

I recently discovered that recruiters use ATS systems and I wonder:

Are there any golden patterns that will help me increase my chances of getting a job?

Is it true that if an ATS gives you a bad rating, no one will even look at my CV?

How can I check myself what rating my CV will get in relation to the job offer?
> Add XFT support and this language would be cool to have a fast RAD development with easy crosscompilation.

What is "XFT support" in this context?
What's the time frame here, what's your sample size for applying to jobs yourself, and what's your sample size for doing hiring (ie how many different companies)? I'm guessing that your personal sample size is extremely limited - not just in quantity but also in geographic area.

Of course my guess could be way off, but what you are saying is definitely the exception to the common narrative nor does it match what I've seen.

Their wonderweapons are artisanal products. That Mach 5 missile needs several days of preparations by specialists from the manufacturer before it is ready for launch. In tech terms: it doesn't scale. And such long preparation leaves ample time to destroy launch sites at any indication of preparations for an actual attack. When Russians fired one without a warhead at Ukraine, they made sure to notify the Americans in advance to avoid exactly that.

It's just a PR stunt. Notice how troll farms tried to hype doomsday scenarios, and how little traction such fears got in the actual national security circles.

To add on to your great comment, I've read a few papers that justify your remarks, but some have paywalls and I'll try to condense them anyways.

Parnas' criteria for when to split code into modules[0] is very compelling: modules should enforce information hiding, where the information of each module is how a key decision is implemented. Key decisions should be orthogonal: e.g., encryption shouldn't inform filesystem access and vice versa. This fits in nicely with practices for determining solutions for a given problem: nail down key decisions (or uncertainties around them) early on and encode them through modules and interfaces.

A logical application of Parnas' module criteria is, naturally, in network stacks. According to [1], although coarse program flow generally follows the OSI layers, the fine control flow may hop around quite a bit. For some time people tried to keep the OSI layers as inspiration and use hacks like upcalls to selectively violate layering, which is a sure sign that the layers are unhelpful. Instead, modules should reflect functionality like encryption, NIC interfacing, and routing. Aim for a flatter, horizontal architecture like a B-tree, not a contrived vertical tower with hacks to cross layers "incorrectly". There will be hierachies and layers, but they should be obviously necessary now. Layering is not the end or even the means but merely how things are.

A program's capability (functionality) is determined by the capabilities of its dependencies, and splitting up functionalities well is important. I use this language to relate it to capability-based security[2]. After all, "security" is basically just a stricter form of program "correctness", and just as a terminal emulator's input text handling capability shouldn't have much to do with its window event handling capability because malicious input shouldn't cause dangerous graphics bugs, there isn't much logical reason to have overlap regardless. They govern separate devices, protocols, and purposes. Capabilities along the lines of capability-based security reify the interfaces and provide strict enforcement.

Lastly, flexibility around protocols should be added or discard as given by the precise problem at hand. Don't preemptively choose some extreme, but instead be informed by what is actually desired. It will yield substantial implementation complexity and performance detriments[3] to over-generalize, and of course over-specializing is just inadequate.

Just for your consideration, in my experience Linkedin is pretty much the worst place to look for a job right now if you're a real human that actually knows how to do their work.
